Hi I've tried to make the zip file for you (and signed too) but...:

1. images must be 320x480 (at least for who has this resolution, like me with my g1)

2. must have 24bit and not 32 like yours..

I've resized them but I cant do that.. try to post them at 24 bit and I'll be happy to make the zip :)

..if you want to make it by yourself..

you have to make 2 directory, data and into data, local.

data/local

now make another 2 directory called part0 and part1.

place all the images into this 2 directory.

copy -> 320 480 15

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1

in a text file called desc.txt

put part0, part1 and desc.txt into bootanimation.zip

so: data/local/bootanimation.zip

now you should sign!! .... or:

adb remount

adb push bootanimation.zip data/local

try with adb method, its long to explain how to sign, if you want pm me ;)
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
Here u go have fun ;)

Link

I use this program call fast-stone photo resizer, its a miracle tool :D

For the animated gif creation i used unfreez
[Android Themes] emoclown:
Thanks for the help!

i tried using Daneshm90 zip file and also create a new one with 320*480 resolution and 24bit colours, but still getting a whole black screen, and idea?:confused:
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
Emm working fine here thats why i uploaded it ;)

where r u pushing the zip?
[Android Themes] emoclown:
/data/local, on htc desire.
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
oh ur on desire. K let me modify the zip n then tell me if it work.
[Android Themes] P4p3r1n0:
try to use system/media

with my g1 I must put the zip in data/local but with other devices should be right to put them into media
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
Try this n let me know
[Android Themes] emoclown:
now, i am really confused...

i tried the new zip file, tried pushing to /system/customize/resource and /system/media, tried using a 8-bit version of the boot animation, tried modifying the boot animation into 2 parts...

But still, no luck,

thanks for the help anyway, you guys are really kind!;)
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
k are u on a sense rom? can u post the default animation. zip from ur rom?
[Android Themes] P4p3r1n0:
the latest zip who Daneshm90 posted is with 480x800 and 32 bit..

for Desire 480x800 is right but I'm not sure for 32 bit..

I havent photoshop, if u can post ur images at 24 bit I'll try to make a new zip.

(but I cant test it cos i've 320x480)
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
Well i dont see why it wudnt work, like on my magic no matter wht the color-depth, they all work :confused:

Thats why i need to see the stock animation format that came with his rom. Cud u post it ? thnx
[Android Themes] P4p3r1n0:
LOOOOL !!! watch into ur zip file xD desc.txt says part1 but there's only part0 directory... fix it and probably it works xD
[Android Themes] P4p3r1n0:
Signed, try this!!

but if you want.. extract bootanimation and use adb ;)

hope it works
[Android Themes] emoclown:
sorry, i didn't back up one...:(
[Android Themes] emoclown:
i install this through rom manager, still doesn't work.
[Android Themes] P4p3r1n0:
this is my last attempt, if it doesnt work i dont know what to do more :/ sorry

I've added also the 2nd directory (part1), with same images. edited desc.txt to show images on 25 fps.
[Android Themes] emoclown:
actually, i have already tried that before, thanks anyway,

that's really very kind of you.:)
[Android Themes] LegzRwheelz:
cool sound to go with and awesome bootanimation

okay so i really like your bootanimation but i wanted a sound to go with it so i found one off of Zedge, converted it to .ogg.

Just use root explorer and go to system/media/audio/ui and rename the bootStrapSound.ogg to bootStrapSound.ogg.old then copy and paste this file in the ui directory. reboot

;)

Anyone else notice when typing, if you get a notification Swype will close?

Pretty annoying.... is there a fix for this?

That did not happen on my G1.
[Vibrant General] cojonesx:
I haven't had this happen so far (day 2)
[Vibrant General] rshemeld:
http://www.informationweek.com/news...html?articleID=225900042&cid=RSSfeed_IWK_News

Anyone see this happen to there phone?
[Vibrant General] cashless:
Holy crap it's true, but you have to hold it in such an awkward way that I doubt I will be able to reproduce it in real life use.

I guess The Jobs wasn't lying about other phones having the issue.
[Vibrant General] jsgrindin:
I heard about this Via T-MoNews... I have tried to emulate it and I will say this:

It is true. When I held the phone "Death Grip" Style.. I lost 'bars'. But 'bars' mesning the physical representation of bars on the screen. I did not lose and data speed, and i did not check to see if voice was affected, but i have been talking on the phone all day with no problem. I also tried this in my basement where i have poor 3g reception.

I think that this is an issue on the grounds of the physical representation of 'bars' on the phone may not be calibrated properly, but if anything, a fix would make the phone appear to have MORE service, and not less, like the iPhone.
[Vibrant General] cashless:
Yep, tested a few times. It's true, but it's entirely a different issue from the iPhone4's troubles.

Basically the full antenna hump has to by lying flush against the palm of your hand and it has to be held down against the palm with quite a bit of force, basically an airtight seal. I don't ever see me holding the phone in this fashion, for any reason other than to test this.
[Vibrant General] jaredangus:
I don't think anyone ever denied that every phone in existence has some signal drop when held in a particular way. My Vibrant goes from 4 bars to 3 when held deliberately attempting to cover the entire antenna bump, but I am inside an office building that causes AT&T to go from 1-2 bars to zero when not holding the phone at all.

I attempted the two handed airtight seal method and couldn't get more than 1 bar to drop.
[Vibrant General] DKYang:
I can see it now "Every phone is going to get this death grip test." Is death grip considered has holding it normally or covering everything? As far as I know, iPhone had a problem when you normally hold your phone with your left hand. I went outside and did the same thing since I don't get a strong reception in my house and it was fine. Now, if I hold the bottom of the phone, then bars drop, but that should be expected.

Another thing to mention here. In that link posted by the OP, the editor had no trouble with calls and etc on the iPhone 4 while the Apple's co-founder had a different experience according to an article posted by Techcrunch.
[Vibrant General] gTen:
Yes, this is for all cellphones...for a tp2 if I hold it by pinching the top right corner....I loose 3 bars...but it is not realistic to hold it that way..

On the iphone they had the antenna swirled around the phone...thus it end up in the bottom left corner which you normally would hold...

That article is trying to cover for the iphone's design flaw in general..on the Vibrant and captivate you wouldn't generally hold the phone that way for it to matter...
[Vibrant General] Poser:
Drop in bars, but no dropped calls. That is a massive distinction that the source article fails to mention. Vibrant FTW
[Vibrant General] rembonjaski:
That's the key issue - it's a non-issue for most phones during "normal use". You have to actually try to cover the exact area, which is not a normal holding position most of the time. That's not the case for the 4G, I've seen it happen when holding the phone as I normally would with my left hand.

I'm not trying to bash the iPhone because I do like the design overall, but the article seems to leave out some key distinctions that make the iPhone issue different.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
That article is so incredibly poor. ^ hit on it exactly. These are NOT the same issues.

Let the thread die.. i do not like seeing iGadget comparisons on XDA.

Ha, do it for me guys!
[Vibrant General] nick_karstedt:
I ran a speed test with and without the deathgrip on my vibrant (a 4 bar difference) and noticed no notable speed changes.
[Vibrant General] ultra spikey:
Holding the phone normally, with my palm about 1/4" away from the bump/antennae on the back of the phone, I definitely lose signal, 3 bars to 0 bars. I also definitely lose download and upload speeds(according to speedtest.net app).

Also, when I go to Menu>Status>About Phone and check the signal there, it goes from about -85dBm 8asu to 0dBm 0asu.

Why would any cell phone maker put the antenna at the bottom where it could easily be covered by the hand? Doesnt it make more sense to put the antenna at the top?
[Vibrant General] jsgrindin:
I believe it is illegal to put the antenna in the upper part of the phone
[Vibrant General] Morbo66:
I don't know if it's "illegal" as in punishable by jail time, but I believe FCC regulations enforced on cell phone manufacturers mandate antennas to be on the bottom of the phone to increase distance to that grey spongy thing between your ears. :)

Has to do with exposure to radiation from the antenna.
[Vibrant General] sec1has:
What if you're holding the phone in landscape with your fingers going over the back of the hump? Does that affect data, speakerphone calls, or GPS signals?
[Vibrant General] Tpavey:
I can reproduce signal loss cupping it in my hand but no call or data change. The iphone issue actually detunes the antenna.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
People. These are completely separate issues. Please quit trying to make our phone like the iPhonie, good or bad. jeebus.
[Vibrant General] tq745:
after i put on the gel case from t-mobile i can no longer replicate the "death grip"
[Vibrant General] MINUS Stl:
Agreed.

Troll mode [ON] OFF

$10 says a sledgehammer will also cause you to lose signal.

Sorry. :rolleyes:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
They would know its rooted if you had things like, custom boot animation, custom Rom, superuser app, etc.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Some say it isn't possible, because of the radio version.

Thats not it at all. HBOOT was updated, and as such, keeps the RUU from working.

However:

Anything is possible with Android.

http://androidforums.com/all-things...16-how-revert-back-earlier-version-hboot.html

This method will allow you to remove the OTA by using RUU leaks we already have. I did it myself last night after messing up my phone trying to flash an old radio through clockwork ;)

Read: Its not a radio issue that would keep you from updating, its an HBOOT version issue.

720p OTA Leak:

CID:VZW__001

[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
You need to use the older OS version if you want to revert to an older RUU, I believe. Not sure the CID matters either. The img file I provided that worked, I used HTC_002.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] michaelnhf:
Confirmed, this does work, i am rocking an unrooted incredible on the 1.0 radio right now after doing the ota last night

I am taking a bit of leap of faith here, but I think it all gets overwritten by the RUU anyway.

I recently dropped my hd2 and the glass around the lens broke off now the lens is exposed. is there a case that will cover it or a camera lens replacement.:D:D

Update: I know im not the only one in America with a glass crack where my lens is and would like to know where to get this fixed or a part site?
[HD2 Accessories] eug4udude:
I just dropped and broke my camera lens as well today.
[HD2 Accessories] gijoe69:
mines also cracked after 2 weeks of use....called customer service and they did a manufacturer's warranty and got the replacement right away
[HD2 Accessories] stim141:
Check on eBay - they have direct replacement lenses - OEM. You will have to figure out a way to get some double sided tape to mount it for most of them.

VERY CHEAP - fortunately they are available.
[HD2 Accessories] CB620:
found a replacement on ebay. you dont need to take apart phone or anything. i just super glued around the lens and popped in. good as new.
[HD2 Accessories] -FuRBz-:

[HD2 Accessories] pc12ve:
Get the Otterbox Defender. I think it is the only case out there truly protecting the camera lens.
[HD2 Accessories] spoon_me:
i have a cracked camera lens..how do i take it off?
[HD2 Accessories] ShAdOwfOx032:
Since it's already cracked, use a knife or something and carefully pry into the cracked area and pull up the cracked glass. Thats how I did it. Just becareful not to push too hard.
[HD2 Accessories] lilvash78:
is there like walktrhough guide video for this?
[HD2 Accessories] ShAdOwfOx032:
Sorry, theres no video or walk through that I know of. As long as you pry off the broken lens its simple from there. Just pry off the lens and then just stick the new one in. Theres not much more than that. You don't have to take the phone apart or anything.
[HD2 Accessories] zmattmanz:
A small sewing needle is a great tool to use. Just pry out the broken piece or you can even do it from the side. What I found when I did it was that there was a ring of adhesive that is difficult to reset correctly once you take the broken lens out. I actually just took the needle and scraped off the adhesive and placed the new lens in so that it's below the surface (beveled, I guess you could say). It stays in just like the old one -- otherwise you'll scratch it the minute you put it down on the table.
[HD2 Accessories] agentaaron:
What happens if it breaks again now that you used super glue?

...I used some 3M double sided tape and a hole punch. I cut it to size and punched a hole in the middle...carefully cleaned all the old adhesive off and dropped it in. Its not going anywhere and absolutely no dust can get under it...if it breaks again (which it may...so I ordered two because the price was so cheap) it will be much easier to remove than super glue.
[HTC Aria General] domin8:
I rooted my Aria yesterday, and with the apps i see in the store is there any benefit to running them to either overclock the cpu or to underclock its voltage? im more concerned with keeping it at the same speed, as its snappy enough, but i am curious if its possible to give it less voltage to prolong battery life any longer.

[Captivate General] dsjr2006:
The issue can be replicated on almost any phone in certain conditions. Its really not an issue to be concerned about.
[Captivate General] bendsley:
I've noticed that my Captivate is hovering around 2-3 bars constantly. It rarely hits 4 or 5 bars unless I'm right near a tower.

I have the body glove case on the phone as well and this is still occurring.
[Captivate General] davidusr:
Mine shows 4 bars on the table, in hand it drops to 3 bars. If I press it into the palm of my hand and put an actual "death grip" on it, it goes to 2 bars. Nothing to be concerned about as far as I'm concerned.
[Captivate General] pjs2004:
Looks like it is an issue, possibly worse than the iphone 4. There's a new test on youtube about it. I can't post links until my account is verified. Search "samsung captivate." Many phones are tested (captivate is around the 5:20 mark):

It dropped from 3 bars to zero. Yikes! Still though, this was a very tight grip test, which no one uses. I would like to see just a casual grip test. According to at least one video I saw, on the iphone, if you put just one finger on that spot on the left side, it will drop.
[Captivate General] Drachen:
Is it this video? Don't be too concerned with the bars. Bars are just a vague estimate of signal strength (it's probably gamed by the manufacturer). I'm interested in real-world performance. There's another video on here (or maybe androidforums) where a user shows the bar drop during the "death grip" and then runs speedtest.net to show that the downstream performance is almost identical. If the data performance suffers or I drop calls when I hold the phone, it's a problem. If all that happens is the signal meter drops a little, I don't care.

I'd be interested to see if the issue Techno Buffalo had can be replicated on the other Galaxy S devices. IIRC, the Captivate is the only one with a metal back cover.
[Captivate General] pjs2004:
Yeah, that's the one. Good point about the bars...
[Captivate General] dsjr2006:
Like the iPhone 4 it's not really a big deal. Most people will never replicate the circumstances needed for this to happen in daily usage and the ones that do probably will do it on purpose to make a stupid video......
[Captivate General] Drachen:
Seriously. Who holds phones like that? I love how he was dragging all the widgets around on the Evo with his palm. Hulk no get reception on Hulk's iPhone 4. Hulk smash!
[Captivate General] radi0chik:
I've tried holding my phone in 20 different ways and cannot make the signal go away. The problem with the iphone is NOT the same as just putting the captivate under something so it doesn't receive the towers as well. Captivate is fine.
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
All phones lose signal in a phone specific "death grip". The difference between a well designed phone and the iphone 4 is how awkwardly you have to hold the phone to lose reception. On the iphone 4 you lose reception holding the phone in a way that is normal for many people. Well designed phones don't lose reception while being held in any natural position.
[Captivate General] Bjd223:
I held mine the way you naturally would in the left and right hands and saw maybe a 1 bar drop out of 10 tries.

If you completely cover the back with your hand you can make it drop a couple bars (but no **** why wouldn't it you are covering the entire back lol). And by 'a couple' I mean exactly 2. Thats the most I could get it to drop any way I held it.

Also if you grip the bottom nice and tight, and make sure that your palm is making 100% contact with the back you can get it to drop 1-2 bars.

I made 10 test calls with the captivate and the most I can make it drop is 2 bars, and even when I dropped from 2 to zero bars it wouldn't drop the call.

As long as it doesn't drop the call I don't care how many bars it shows. Also I think that they are calculating signal strength based on data (upload and download) and voice. From what I saw I think the bar drop is from data upload speeds decreasing.

I'd like to hear if anyone can actually drop a call from this. I can't but service is okay where I am lowest I hit was 2 bars without the grip.
[Captivate General] systoxity:
i get 4 - 5 bars normaly. When i apply the death grip i drop 1 bar... btw the death grip you give an iphone 4 and a regphone is totally diff. The deathgrip for the iphone 4 is casually holding it in your left hand. For normal hands one is required to strangle the phone. With the extreme death grip i got it to drop one bar. I have huge hands too...
